Need for Speed

Hey, I've been doing some homework

on this kid Tobey Marshall from Mount Kisco.

This kid was a phenom. Used to tear up the local circuits.

Him and his dad, man, they campaigned like champions.

Of course, Mount Kisco had another great, Dino Brewster.

You all know Dino.

He went on to race in the big leagues at Indy

and Tobey just kind of fell through the cracks.

Well, here's some news, cretins.

Tobey's been running again, and running fast.

Real fast, fast as that "Grim Taquito" will take him.

Tobey, you wanna fly with the eagles,

you need bigger wings, son.

I'm just telling you right now

that if Tobey Marshall ever got a car worthy of his talents,

he could be toeing the line at De Leon.

Give me four clicks of compression.

All right.

Actually, make it three.

No, two. Two is perfect.

You wanna make up your mind? What is it, two, three, or four?

- Exactly. - Yo, guys!

You know I'm gonna hurt you, right?

- Two. - Thank you.

Guys. Joe, you gotta check this out, man.

- Yo. - Monarch's on fire.

Cretin, go ahead.

Monarch, this is Darryl from East Orange.

Why would you let a redneck trust fund baby into the De Leon?

He doesn't deserve to be in a winner-takes-all race

with multi-million-dollar cars!

- Come on, Monarch! - Caller?

Do I get to talk?

Darryl, have your parents ever smacked you upside the head?

See, this is a case where sometimes you just need to beat kids.

Darryl, Darryl, it's my show. I get...

Shut up! Listen to me!

Darryl, one important question.

Have you ever even driven a race car?

That's what I thought.

Let me explain to all of you people out there

how this works one more time.

It's my race.

It's the De Leon. I created it.

It's rarefied air, kids. It's beautiful.

I decide who gets in,

and who does not get in to the race, okay?

I loved your dad.

He was a customer of the bank for 30 years.

Thirty.

What y'all talking about?

The Flyin' Hawaiian just took down Steve Heavy Chevy

- in the Arizona desert. - What?

...an invitation as a wild card. Okay? That's important.

Wild card. Maybe.

I'm not saying he's in, I'm saying he might be.

Who was that?

He's just an old customer of my dad's.

I didn't recognize him.

Yeah, he might bring his car in on Friday.

What's wrong with it?

Our job to find out.

I was thinking about the race tonight. We should get there early.

Five cars, the race is full. Pot should be, like, what?

Five grand.

- Tobey. - Pete.

- You good? - Good.

- Are you ready? - Yeah.

You know, Monarch gave you a shout-out.

- Then he shit on your car. - Yeah, I know. I heard.

Never mind that.

While Monarch was talking about you, I had a vision.

All right, here we go.

Quiet, okay? I happen to like his visions.

Pete, proceed, please.

I see water, and the sun, and...

- Your sister in a bikini. - Shut it.

I see Tobey looking at a lighthouse.

I see you, and you're gonna win De Leon.

- Really? - Hey.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Petey,

but I got my hands full

trying to beat Jimmy Macintosh and you tonight, so...

Oh, man.

My sister and Dino are here.

She didn't tell me she was coming home, Tobe.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.

Coming with Dino isn't.

What's this fool even doing back here, man?

Maybe he just came to watch how a real racer drives.

The guy raced Indy.

It doesn't get more real than that, Finn.

Let's go, Tobey. You don't need that distraction.

No, it's fine.

All right, boys, the race is gonna start soon.

Ben, you should head up.

I just wanna let you know I'm going because I want to

and not because you told me to.

- Just know that. - Okay.

Way to put your foot down, Benny.

Nice pleather jacket, homie.

- Hey. - Hi, guys. Hi, Petey.

How are you?

- I'm good. How are you? - Good.

- Are you racing tonight? - Yeah.

- You be careful. - Okay.

Okay.

Hi, Tobey.

Anita.

I'm really sorry to hear about your dad.

Did you get my flowers?

Yeah.

Good.

And thank you for watching out for Pete.

He's like a little brother to me.

How's the shop?

The shop is... It's good.

It's good.

Yeah?

How's the city?

It's different than I expected,

but it's not here.

Are you still allergic to Mount Kisco?

Actually, Dino has something he wants to talk to you about.

I doubt that.

After the race, though. I don't wanna distract you.

Then you should have stayed in Manhattan.

You look beautiful.

- How are you feeling? - Good.

Have you got the roads locked down?

The road is clear.

We are at the finish line and Benny is in the Cessna.

Liar One, you standing by?

Here we go with this again.

I wouldn't have to use that handle

if you stopped telling people you flew Apache helicopters.

I took an Apache for a joyride, okay?

That's all I said.

I know that's what you said. We just don't believe you.

Hey, man, look, just because I'm a crew chief

doesn't mean I don't know how to fly.

You gotta have balls of titanium alloy to do what I do.

So I need a little respect. A little R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

All right, enough messing around. What's the status,

Liar One?

Clear, and this is "Maverick."

Call me Maverick,

or I will kamikaze this into your nut sack.

Mind if I watch?

Okay, gentlemen, please be advised,

I got traffic ahead.

Repeat, I got traffic ahead.

That was close. He got lucky.

It's not luck. He's patient.

Sorry, little buddy.

My house!

Benny!

You bodied that guy's grocery cart.

What's wrong with you?

Yeah!

Yeah!

Sweet!

Hey, yo, Father Joseph, make sure you save me a beer, buddy.

Hello?

That's what we do. That's right.

Benny, my man.

I thought you had him, brother.

Nah, I had him in the turns.

Where were you? We missed you, brother, we missed you.

What do you mean?

I was flying, watching your butts.

- You were flying? - Flying?

- I didn't see him flying. - Y'all gonna play me like that?

- I didn't see him flying. - Did you see him flying?

Maybe you should ask the shopping cart guy

if he saw you flying up there.

Shots fired! Boom, boom!

So I'm supposed to watch out for cops,

fly the plane, make sure you got a clear lane

and look out for homeless people coming out of the shadows?

I didn't get that memo, I'm sorry.

Nice driving.

I'm impressed.

Tobey Marshall.

The man to beat in Mount Kisco.

Sorry about your old man.

I know you were close.

You lost, Dino?

What?

I mean, I haven't seen you around for a long time.

I figured, you know, you must be lost.

So, nothing has changed.

After 10 years, you wanna just pick up some locker room fight.

What do you want?

I wanna see you build a real car.

I got plenty of cars to build, Dino.

Yeah.

How's that going for you?

I didn't come to insult you.
